Children

I have edited the information about his son. He was pictured in a german youth magazine along with Paul and was called Erni not "Emil". The magazine was published around 1992 and the boy was no older than 1 or 2 years old. If he was even that. Also, this makes sense as Paul was quoted in an article in 2004/05 as saying his son was 14 years old. Dependent on whether he'd just turned 14 then, or was 14- going on 15 that year. "Erni" will be 15-16 years old. Kia

was he or was he not a gymnast? Somebody find some evidence of either side, and then edit the article to be correct, please. Tjdw 03:25, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I found this statement somewhat amusing: "After his divorce with Nikki Landers, he lived with his Feeling B band mate Christian "Flake" Lorenz for a number of years. Paul has since had a daughter." - what, with Flake? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.178.246 (talk) 11:21, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

cleanup tagged

This article seems to be a series of cut & paste dumps from a fan site. Much comes from here, where the author seems to have released the work from copyright. Much of the information is trivial, without context, and in interviewer/interviewee format, rather than paragraphs. I had to read far down the page to figure out who this person IS.

I have rewritten the Paul Landers article. I have only improved the sentence structure and word order. The previous version of this article appears to be a direct translation from German. Helen 19:25, March 21, 2005 (Pretoria, South Africa)

I've rearranged the content to read more logically and rewritten parts - I tried to group the stuff about his personal life into one paragraph, and then the music chronology together too. Also removed the bits of trivia that had already been discussed in the main article. I'm not sure if the 'trivia' is actually worth having - does it matter who his favorite bands are? Also, is it suitable to be linking from the English Paul Landers article to German language sites? I have also found that there is a musician and composer on a Vanessa Paradis/Lenny Kravitz album called Henry Hirsch - does anyone know if this is the same as this Henry Hirsch (Paul H. Landers)?

Height

Stop saying paul is 5'9". There exist no official height lists of the band nor have they mentioned their height in interviews.

The average height in germany is 5'8". Paul is very small. Fellow bandmembers often note that in interviews or making of videos(See lichtspielhaus.)

Speculating his height would be based on known height of Jay Leno.(listed at 5'10" but actually about 5'7.) Jay Leno is about 2-3 inches shorter than Vin Diesel. Vin Diesel is the same height as TIll. Making Till about 5'9-5'11. Paul is about 5 inches shorter than till. So estimating his height I would peg him at 5'3-5'6.

And Weight? C'mon people...

I will continue to edit this if people keep adding the wrong height.

Hi! Ok, I've been sucked into this obsessing about height. I've met Paul; and he's 5'7 in his flip flops. Cheers, Sue.

It doesn't matter if you've met him in person. See Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Verifiability. We cannot include his height or weight unless there is a reputable, published source that contains that information. ~MDD 46 96 22:15, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is the problem with Wikipedia. It's like with the GNAA article. timecop and jesuitx could say themselves where the name for the GNAA came from but you guys would just all go "No original research hur hur hur" Stormscape 17:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birth

Greetings! I wondering a little more about Paul H. Landers. What is his "real" name (name of birth), is it Henry Hirsch or Heiko Hiersche? And where is Paul born, actually? In Brest-Litovsk in Belarus or Baumschulenweg, Berlin in Germany?

Picture?

His page used to have a picture of him, what happened to it? Someone needs to put another back on.

Redirect from "Henry Hirsch"?

I wonder why there is a redirect from Henry Hirsch to Paul Landers. Obviously there seem to be two different musicians, one of them is a member of Rammstein (whose origin name is Heiko Hirsche), the other one works together with Lenny Kravitz. Both of them lived/have lived in Berlin at a certain point of time in their live. Before fall of the wall however, Paul Landers lived in Berlin East, whereas Henry Hirsch lived in Berlin West and moved to New York in the eighties. Please check Mr Hirsch's website out for details: http://www.henryhirsch.com/Main/About.html. Is it possible to rework this bit? --89.246.213.23 (talk) 19:19, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
